Safe way to dispose of Heroes not heroin unused medicine offered By Laura McFarland News Editor
Contributed Report POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office announced last week that a business/county partnership has made it possible to offer residents a safe way to dispose of unused prescription medication. With the cooperation of the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors and county administrator Pat Weiler, the county was awarded a grant from CVS/pharmacy to install a drug collection unit/collection safe. The new unit is now located in the sheriff’s office lobby in the basement of the Powhatan Court House. This collection safe will provide residents with a safe and environmentally responsible way to dispose of unwanted, unused or expired medication, including controlled substances. The new unit is intended to reduce the SUBMITTED PHOTO amount of unneeded medicine in residents’ Sheriff Brad Nunnally, county adminishomes and decrease prescription drug abuse, trator Pat Weiler and Sgt.

OWHATAN – Powhatan County had an intervention on Sunday. It was at turns hard hitting, heartbreaking, uplifting, hopeful, and a call for change. But rather than friends and family surrounding a single loved one in trouble, a small group of speakers spoke to a gathering of more than 150 community members and shared a few hard truths about Powhatan County not being immune to the drug epidemic found in cities, counties and states across the nation. The event was held on Sunday, April 17 in the Village Meadow Pavilion. Cindy Harris, one of the organizers, warned the crowd at the beginning of “Heroes not heroin- no more secrets” that there may be things said at the event people there
didn’t want to hear – either because it is too hard to think of these things happening in Powhatan or because they hit too close to home. “We have to understand we can’t educate our way out of it. We can’t have the sheriff’s office arrest our way out of it. We can’t even love our way out of it. I don’t even know what all the directions are, but this is the start,” Harris said, gesturing to the gathered crowd. The event was conceived after the recent overdose deaths of young people with Powhatan ties and getting fed up of attending the funerals of people who died too soon in situations that may have been avoidable, she said. One of the first steps in fixing a problem is realizing there is one. Harris urged parents to focus less on being the “cool parents” and more on asking their children the

OWHATAN – The inhabitants of Stormy Hill farm – both the two-legged and fourlegged variety – have been riding around in Nancy Clarke’s head since she was a teenager. The stories of a girl and her horse, a racing farm built with hard work and love, and a family pulling together to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds have popped up at different times in the author’s life. Now the Powhatan County resident has channeled those stories into a book series with six already in print and a seventh in the editing process and slated for possible publication in the fall. The books are aimed at children and teenagers, but Clarke said she has been surprised to find she has an adult following as well. For Clarke, who wrote the stories for herself and never dreamed they would be published, sharing the story of a young girl named Ann Collins and her horse, Lightning, is a true joy. “I want people to become emotionally involved with Ann and her life. I want to start a conversation. I love it when little kids come up to me and talk about my characters like they are real people. I want them to

Powhatan author Nancy Clarke, shown with her horse Flash, has written six books in her Stormy Hill series with a seventh on the way later this year. The books center around a horse breeding farm in Kentucky.
feel like I do, that they are real people,” Clarke said.
Introducing Stormy Hill The series is titled after the fictional thoroughbred breeding farm in Kentucky where it is set, and the name is featured in each book: Stormy Hill, Stormy Hill’s Legacy, Stormy Hill’s Heritage, Stormy Hill’s Challenge, Stormy Hill’s Gift, and Stormy Hill’s Tradition. The book starts with 14year-old Ann wanting to see her family rise back from poverty and regain its acclaimed position in the racing world. When Lightning, a well-bred black colt, is born, she knows that her chance has come. “It begins with the birth of a promising foal, but the foal is
orphaned at birth. She had faith the foal was going to be the answer to saving the farm. Adults, being practical minded, didn’t believe,” Clarke said. “Nobody felt this foal could turn into a great race horse, but she did.” Ann is a great rider, but it will take more than just skill for her to make her dreams a reality. Even if no one else really believes in Lightning, she knows that he will be the one to change it all. The series starts by focusing
on Ann and Lightning, but in later books, Clarke expanded the focus to other characters tied to Stormy Hill and their trials and triumphs. The series spans several years, starting when Ann is 14 and expected to end when she is 21. Clarke said the books grow with her readers, as the problems the characters face become more complicated. Since the series was originally written for children, she said she didn’t want to go too far into the adult years and the very different challenges they would face then. “I don’t like what I am seeing in children’s books. I think they are too graphic,” Clarke said. “I do tell parents who come up that these are all family friend books. There is nothing in here that would embarrass you reading to your child.” In fact, she hopes parents will see the good messages in the book about dreams coming true, but only when people are willing to work to make them happen. A different twist people might not expect is the fact that the books are set in the 1960s, which is important to the story line, Clarke said. For one thing, the racing world in the 1960s was very different than it is now, she said. see AUTHOR page 5A

Powhatan businessman sentenced in federal wire fraud case April 12 By Frank Green Richmond Times-Dispatch
The former president of Virginia Financial Associates Inc. was sentenced in federal court last week to more than two years in prison and ordered to pay $500,000 in restitution to two victims. James E. Dunivan Jr., 52, of Powhatan County pleaded guilty to wire fraud in January and was sentenced by U.S. District Judge James R. Spencer on Tuesday, April 12. According to court documents, Dunivan was formerly the president of the insurance and investment firm located in Richmond. From 2012 to last year, he engaged in a scheme to defraud two investors by persuading them to invest in two separate limited

liability companies. He told one investor that an LLC he established would operate a hedge fund and that the investor’s money would be used to establish, market and operate the fund. The investor gave Dunivan $425,000 to invest in the hedge fund, but Dunivan used the money to pay for personal expenses — including mortgage payments for his home — and to make interest payments owed to the investor and others for separate investments. Dunivan also obtained $75,000 from a second investor who was told that an LLC established by Dunivan would function as a proprietary trading firm, and that the money would be used to trade futures. Dunivan used most of the investor’s money for his personal expenses.

She also challenged everyone, even people without children, to recognize that this is not an isolated problem that only happens to certain people.

More than 70 percent of teenagers say it is easy to get prescription drugs from their parents’ medicine cabinets, according to a 2014 Partnership for Drug-Free Kids study. Getting this unneeded medication out of the home is proving to be one of the most effective ways to prevent drug abuse in young people.

The installation of this unit marks the beginning
fellowship with common goals,” Harris said. “I would much rather see Powhatan be the latter of those definitions.” Harris’ remarks began an almost twohour event filled with heartbreaking stories of addiction and the stark facts about drug addiction. Friends and family of the recent overdose victims poured their heartache into poetry and song to express their grief. One of the most poignant moments came at the very end, when family members of those young people who recently lost their lives released butterflies. Harris had mentioned earlier that butterflies became the symbol of the event because they are said to be able to carry messages see HEROES page 8A

Powhatan Today, April 20, 2016
Author Continued from page 1A
Being set in a time before the Internet and cell phones also creates some great opportunities for miscommunications and working situations out the hard way, she said. There is also the issue that, because of their young ages, the main characters couldn’t be as involved in the racing world today as they were in the 1960s. Clarke said she researched all her books, visiting sites of famous horse races and actually talking to people who attended the real events in the 1960s. Talking to people who actually experienced events like the Tevis Cup, a 100-mile endurance ride held since 1955, added depth she couldn’t have gotten from a history book, she said.
A published author Clarke started riding at age 12 and has loved horses and had them be a part of her life ever since. She had one beloved horse, Murphy, for more than 20 years before he died about five years ago. Murphy was the horse that really inspired Clarke to try having her books published, she said. “When I would get writer’s
block, I would go off and ride. I would hop on his back and go clear my mind,� she said. When Clarke was in seventh grade, a friend suggested writing a book. Clarke did, and she kept going back to it even in high school and college. She did finish it in college and would continue to play with it over the years, but that was as far as it went. Clarke was an elementary school teacher for 31 years, with 19 years spent in schools in New Jersey and the rest in Virginia. She retired in 2006 from Amelia Academy. Clarke said she was devastated when she lost all of her manuscripts after the storage room they were held in flooded. The years of work, painstakingly typed on a typewriter, were gone. “I rewrote the outline, the chapters with a synopsis of each story. But to actually sit down and write the story, I really dabbled. I didn’t do it right away,� she said. “It was heartbreaking to lose all that work, so I did it in drips over the next few years.� Eventually, Clarke had written the basic stories of what would later be all of the books in her series. A friend suggested she get in touch with a publisher, and she was later offered a contract for the series. Clarke takes being an author and promoting her work serious-
ly, selling them at craft fairs, horse events, wine festivals and other events around Virginia. She mixes trips to promote the series in with being a dog

Another Powhatan connection For the last two books in the series, Clarke said she started working with Powhatan illustrator Penny Muire, who will also work with her on the seventh book. The two met at Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center several
who has her freelance graphic design business, Medusa Design. Muire said she has enjoyed the challenge of working on the book covers and interior illustrations and collaborating with Clarke. She reads the books and starts making notes about possible options to illustrate and takes those to the author. They usually narrow it down to 10 to 12 illustrations per book. “The one I am drawing is the

one that I am enjoying the most just because I liked the process. It’s exciting and fun,� Muire said. “Over time you get to know the characters in a book intimately with a series.� Although the books are aimed at young readers, Muire said she enjoys that they can be a good read for adults as well. Horse lovers will especially appreciate the book, she added. “If you are a horse fan, they really bring you in. You learn about the lesser known aspects of horse racing and horse competitions. It covers rodeos, thoroughbred racing, and endurance riding. There are several aspects of horsemanship you learn about,� she said. The Stormy Hill series currently has all books in hardback for $25 and the first three in paperback. The first five books are also available as e-books on the Kindle, Nook and other e-readers. Clarke will have a booth set up to sell her books at the Celebration of the Horse, which will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 7 at Rocky Oaks Farm, 2693 Rocky Oaks Road.

and outside of the classroom to insure that each and every student has the opportunity to experience success,” he said. During the school board meeting, a Teacher of the Year for each of the district’s six schools was announced, ending with honoring Brown for both of her awards. Sandy Lynch, assistant superintendent for instruction, was on the committee that decided on the award and introduced the six winners

during the school board meeting. All of Brown’s 13 years as a teacher have been spent in Powhatan, Lynch said. Before that, the career switcher had experience as an international sales manager, camp counselor, day care director, puppeteer and storyteller. Having a master’s degree enables Brown to have the reading specialist endorsement in addition to the family and consumer science endorsement, Lynch said. She is currently working toward the administration and supervision endorsement. Brown is really proud that career and technical education (CTE) classes have been a leader in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and 21st century skills, which help students manage life in a modern society, Lynch said. Brown loves working with children and building relationships with them and their families, Lynch added. “She believes since society is changing rapidly and affecting the family, family life is a huge part of her curriculum. She reaches out to families, case workers, and others who can help her students succeed. She believes that skills learned in CTE classes prepare students to be college and career ready,” Lynch said. Lynch also read a quote from Dr. Tracie Omohundro, PHS principal, who said “Mrs. Brown is a champion for her students inside and outside of her classroom through her broad course offerings; sponsorship of FCCLA, and dedication to Early Childhood Education.” Each of the Teachers of the Year received a plaque and a monetary award from the Powhatan Education Foundation. The other teachers recognized as the teachers of the year for their schools were: Sara Altizer, Pocahontas Elementary School Teacher of the Year – The fourth grade teacher has been with the school district since 2011 and has worked as an educator for eight years. She has both elementary and special education endorsements. “She comes from a family of teachers and has always known she was going to be a teacher. Even her own school teachers knew she was going to be a teacher,” Lynch said. Altizer, a mother of a 2 ½-year-old, is an IEP online trainer for her school and serves on the math team after school. She believes that it is human nature to want to learn, so as a teacher it’s im-
portant to make classroom learning seem natural, not a chore, Lynch said. Altizer also believes working with other teachers is very important, so she collaborates with and keeps general education teachers aware of what’s going on with special education students. Renee Johnson, Powhatan Elementary School Teacher of the Year – The second grade teacher has been with Powhatan her entire nine-year teaching career as well as the 12 years she worked as a teaching assistant before that. “She became interested in being a teacher when she was volunteering, first as a parent and then as a teaching assistant,” Lynch said. “Her Longwood professor convinced her to go into teaching. That is when she obtained a master’s in education.” Johnson, who also has an undergraduate degree in business and marketing, was a stay-at-home mom for a time and started volunteering as a parent in her children’s classes. She began to feel the need to help students learn while working as a teaching assistant. “She is passionate about developing the whole child and wants students to be the best human beings that they can be,” Lynch said. Johnson integrates computer-based instruction into hands-on, interactive learning that is relevant and realistic to her students’ world, Lynch said. Johnson gives her students 120 percent of her time and effort and tells them that, “If we try, we can change the world.” She is also involved with various committees and PTO at her school and leadership at her church. Alison Southard, Flat Rock Elementary School Teacher of the Year – Four years into her career, all of which has been based in Powhatan County, Southard teaches Special Education – Community Based Instruction (CBI). She has a background in biology and social work, currently serves on the Down Syndrome World Education Board of Directors and is planning to get her autism certification next. Southard’s students are in multiple grade levels with different goals, so she works with general education teachers to adapt lessons for individualized instruction, Lynch said. Communications is a major focus for her students. She is passionate about finding tools to help them use 21st century skills. “She uses a holistic approach with students and families and believes in letting students choose how they can see TEACHER page 9A

as the division wide teacher given the excellence of her fellow teachers who were nominated. “Because of the curriculum I teach I have students in Early Childhood Education and Teachers for Tomorrow. I place them in all of the schools for internships, so I get to work with many of the teachers and see firsthand the caliber of educators we have in Powhatan County. It is amazing,” Brown said. Brown was selected as Powhatan’s Teacher of the Year after conducting panel interviews of all six school teacher’s of the year, Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, said. Powhatan County Public Schools have some incredible teachers, and those nominated from each school by their peers “certainly embody the best of what we want to see in our classrooms,” he said. Jones later pointed out Brown’s passion for teaching her students skills that will enable them to become successful adults. “As a former leader in the business world, Mrs. Brown knows what it takes [to turn] young people into the next generation of leaders in their chosen field, and she works tirelessly inside

Powhatan brimming with fun things to do By Laura McFarland News Editor
A
bout this time last year this writer was seriously all over the place. It was my first full spring in Powhatan County, having started work after Memorial Day the year before. As you know, the winter months can get a bit scarce when it comes to entertainment anywhere, but especially in a rural community where people do not want to spend months planning an event only to have it ruined because of snow. Having had that happen in January with a group I belong to, it is completely understandable. So when April hits and it seems like winter definitely has loosened its grip on the county, people go crazy with the events. Seriously, if you can’t find something to do in the coming weeks, it’s not for lack of options. If you haven’t checked out the Powhatan Today’s calendar before, I recommend it. Sometimes it only includes the week of events in print, but it runs with a full listing of the immediate coming weeks when it is put on www.powhatantoday.com every Wednesday. I mention the calendar because Powhatan clubs and organizations are doing a really good job of amping up the entertainment in the coming weeks, and it deserves a shout out. This week alone you have a range of events that
would appeal to a wide variety of tastes. If you have time today, April 20, consider learning more about keeping Powhatan and the rest of the world greener with the Powhatan Earth Day Celebration on the Courthouse Green. You have one of two outdoor concert series being held (Village Vibe started last week and picks up again in May) with Independence Golf Club’s presentation of the Jangling Reinharts on Thursday, April 21. If you are feeling productive on Saturday, April 23, there are options for that. Get a load of gravel for your drive or garden at the joint Deep Creek Fire Department and Luck Stone fundraiser. Clean out some of the old junk from your house and yard you have wanted to get rid of – tires, air conditioners, refrigerators, washer/dryers, dish washers, hot water heaters, monitors, scanners, copiers, printers and more – at Powhatan Anti-Litter Council’s annual Amnesty Day. If you would rather have a leisurely day, stroll around the 12th annual Spring Garden Fest or learn about keeping this community safe for children at Powhatan’s Pinwheel Picnic. Feel like pushing yourself a little? The Free Clinic of Powhatan Bike Tour will have people zooming around the county on bicycles on Sunday, April 24. If you are out for a Sunday drive, be mindful of the bikers. All that is just in one week. That doesn’t account
for other upcoming events like the Powhatan Lions Club’s 41st annual Steer Roast and Charity Golf Tournament (April 27); the Friends of Powhatan Public Library’s bi-annual book (April 28 to 30); Powhatan High School’s Relay for Life Club’s Color-A-Cure Fun Run/Walk 5k (April 30); the 20th annual Powhatan Spring Antique Power Show (April 30 and May 1), and Powhatan’s Festival of Fiber (April 30). And that is just April! As the weather warms and festivals and activities are being held all over Virginia and the United States, the temptation is probably there to just get in the car and go explore. I would be lying if I didn’t say I will be at some of them. But in your quest for something fun to do for yourself and your family, don’t count Powhatan out as being unable to provide it. Having been to several of these events, this writer can say with certainty that this county knows how to have fun. It also knows how to do some good. Look deeper at almost all of these events and you will see some or part of the proceeds will benefit one of the local charities or organizations that make Powhatan a better place to live for everyone.

We would like to pass on to Powhatan Today’s readers our excitement and pride of the Republican Party’s recent mass meeting to select a chairman for their upcoming term. In our opinion, the process was a bit cumbersome and some of the parliamentary proceeding drawn out, with no explanation to the general attendees. We arrived at 5:30 and were leaving around 10 p.m. The announcement of Jean Gannon’s victory was very enthusiastic with a feeling of pride, for the both Jean and the Republican Party. Politics is a subjective process and the end product a viable and productive team. We believe this new leadership will reawaken a spirit of corporative activity and inclusion. The first meeting of the Powhatan County Republican Committee, with the new chair, Jean Gannon, will meet April 20 (Wednesday) at 7 p.m. at the Powhatan County Village Building, 3910 Old Buckingham Road, Powhatan, VA 23139. Jean’s victory was overwhelming and we hope all of you who helped make this possible will join us Wednesday evening. This is a new beginning and we know all with an interest in conservative endeavors within politics will be welcomed and included. Layton and Thelma Allen Powhatan County
Handling of mass meeting crippled integrity of event Dear Editor, I am currently the vice chairman of the Powhatan Republican Committee, and I am a proud lifelong resident of Powhatan County. Powhatan will always be my home, but the actions by many this past week have me concerned about the future of this county. I have never witnessed or heard of such a travesty in politics that happened during last week’s Powhatan Republican Mass Meeting. Many individuals, with their blatant lack of respect for the Virginia Republican Party and its rules for voter eligibility, hijacked the voices of numerous county conservatives. The lack of leadership and a total disregard for parliamentary procedure by the temporary chairman crippled the integrity of the mass meeting.
Allowing individuals like Mr. Larry Nordvig to vote for the Powhatan Republican Committee chairman is a disgrace to all citizens in Powhatan County that believe in the Republican Party. Mr. Nordvig made it a personal vendetta to demonize the Powhatan Republican Committee, and this was after he signed a binding pledge to support the republican nominee during the election. Throughout his campaign, he ran against political groups and their ideals in Powhatan County. If he demonizes the Republican Party, if he runs as an independent for public office, if he violates a binding republican mass meeting pledge, and if he denounces the idea of the Republican Party along with its conservative ideals; why should he be allowed to vote in the Powhatan Republican Mass Meeting? This question has come up a lot over the past few days and the short answer is, he cannot vote in the Powhatan Republican Mass Meeting. He disaffiliated himself with the Republican Party along with the ideals set by the Virginia Republican Party by violating a signed pledge of support and therefore, he cannot vote. Others at the mass meeting were dumbfounded as well-known county democrats cast their votes for Powhatan Republican chairman. For those who denounce conservative values, it is shocking to many that they would want to vote in a republican mass meeting. One can derive the conclusion that they intended to influence the Powhatan Republican Committee in ways that benefit themselves. Again, such a lack of regard for Virginia Republican Party rules has wrongfully influenced the Powhatan Republican Committee. I urge my fellow conservatives to keep up the good fight for fiscal responsibility and conservative leadership in Powhatan County. If you have any questions or concerns that you would like answered please email me at vicechairpcrc@gmail.com. Thank you. Stephen Barham Jr. Powhatan County
Now is time for republicans to come together, not divide Editor’s note: The following letter was submitted by the newly elected chairwoman of the Powhatan Republican Committee as an open letter to Powhatan republicans. Dear Editor, I want to thank you for the honor and responsibility of serving you as the chair of the Powhatan County

Republican Committee for the coming two years. I look forward to working alongside of you to elect the good conservative men and women our party nominates for public office. We have entered into a crucial time in the life of our nation and commonwealth. As we heard last night, the next President may have the opportunity to nominate as many as 3 or 4 Supreme Court Justices. How many times have we heard Congressman Randy Forbes warning Virginians about how vulnerable the President’s dismantling of our military capability leaves America? How many times does Congressman Brat have to sound the alarm about running away federal spending robbing not only our children and grandchildren of their future, but now even our own? Yet, too many of our neighbors are watching from the sidelines. And, like me, you have probably heard too many republicans say something like, “I can support any of the republicans running for president, except __________.” Or, “If _________________ is the nominee for president, I may just not vote.” Like many of you, I want our republican majorities in Congress to stand stronger on principle and often wonder why more isn’t happening. But, this I know for sure: Just two appointments by Hillary Clinton to the Supreme Court and it may not matter what our republicans in Congress try to do. (My mind still won’t let me even think there is a possibility that American voters would elect Bernie Sanders. If he were to somehow be elected, his Supreme Court nominees would probably be worse, if that is even possible.) In the commonwealth, where our General Assembly majorities are actively pursuing a conservative, fiscally responsible agenda, Governor McAuliffe seems almost giddy as he vetoes legislation that would expand school choice, second amendment rights and protect religious freedom. His chosen successor, Attorney General Mark Herring, has already violated his constitutional oath by refusing to defend in court laws he disagrees with. It is essential that we elect a republican to be governor of Virginia next year. Friends, our neighbors on the sidelines are not just watching crucial elections play out on television. They are watching us, too. When we spend as much time fighting with each other as we do fighting the democrats, it is no wonder that most of the republicans who participated in the mass meeting last, regardless of which candidate they supported, won’t become members of our county committee.

to Heaven. From the beginning, “Heroes not heroin” was about facing some hard truths. In 2014, 21,000 people died as a result of drug overdose in the United States, with 986 of those deaths occurring in Virginia, said Keith Cartwright, behavioral health wellness consultant for the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services. Of those 986 deaths in Virginia, almost 80 percent involved prescription opioids or heroin. The Virginia Department of Health reported a 38 percent increase in deaths from prescrip-
“should be all we need to hear to know that this isn’t a THEM problem. This is an US problem,” he said. Cartwright commended the people in the community who came out to support Sunday’s event, because people joining forces is the most powerful tool in working on a problem like this, he said. Chip Carroll, executive director of IWishINeverStarted.org, offered another alarming statistic. According to a survey done by the National Institute of Drug Abuse, four out of 10 high school seniors surveyed said they thought it was OK to try heroin just once. Carroll spoke of prevention

tion opioid and heroin overdoses between 2012 and 2014, he said. Approaching the statistics from a more personal side as a father, Cartwright pointed out an alarming fact about how those statics relate to Virginia’s youth. “In Virginia last year, for the first time since they have been keeping these records, more of our young people died to drug overdoses than they did in car crashes. That’s a very scary statistic to this dad,” he said. In Powhatan County, there have been 20 overdoses with eight of them directly related to heroin, he continued. Those numbers include young people, which
methods and the importance of staying involved with children and modelling good behaviors for them.
Personal stories Some of the speakers spoke from a very personal perspective. Jerimy and Chenoa Ford both shared their stories of how drug addiction took over and almost completely ruined their lives. Jerimy Ford spoke of growing up in an unstable home, being surrounded by a world of drugs, and being abandoned by his mother at age 15. That led to him being angry at everyone and

turning to addiction. By the time he was 16, Ford said he was an alcoholic and a meth addict. At age 19, he went to prison for the first time and learned to be an even better criminal. Those patterns continued for several years, and it was only while he was serving a 10-year prison sentence that he kicked his addiction and then gradually turned his life around. “The journey was long, and it was stinking hard. I had to change my friends. I had to change my attitude. I had to change so many things about me. By the time I was released from prison, I was an entirely different person than the one who had been arrested,” he said. In July, Jerimy Ford said he will celebrate 13 years of sobriety. His wife Chenoa’s story started very differently. She said she grew up with loving, supportive parents, and it wasn’t until she was 21 that she tried drugs for the first time. “Little did I know it would become my love affair for many years to come,” she said. Six months after she tried drugs for the first time, Chenoa Ford was arrested for the first time. Over the next several years, her life was taken over by a cycle of drugs, committing crimes and

having her parents bail her out. “I often wondered during the times sitting in jail, ‘how could this happen to me?’ I was raised with a family that gave me everything I wanted or needed,” she said. “I was raised in church. I was taught morals, values and beliefs. I had a college tuition that was paid for. I was a good Christian girl. Why me?” She went on to talk about not being able to kick her habit even when she got pregnant, but finally turning her life around during a court-ordered rehab stay. Today she has been sober 19 years and is vigilant with her own daughter to make sure she never follows that same path, she said. Being a parent who enables a child who is an addict, even if you are doing it out of love, is only helping them put off facing reality, said Braxton Collier, who spoke about his own journey as the father of an addict. He described how he helped his adult son, who was an addict, for years at a great cost to himself and the rest of his family. Collier spoke about eventually going to Families Anonymous meetings and realizing the damage he was doing to his own life and relationships by enabling his son. “This is a family disease that will destroy your families.

didn’t cause it, I couldn’t cure it, and I can’t change it. I had to learn that,” Collier said. “You didn’t cause it, you can’t cure it, and you can’t change it either,” he continued, pointing to the crowd. He also talked about having to overcome his own sense of shame in talking about his son’s addiction because he had always believed that addiction didn’t happen to good, upstanding families like his. Ultimately, Collier’s story didn’t have the happy ending eventually found by the Fords. He said his son died of an overdose on Sept. 8, 2014. “I can stand up here and tell you this story because I was not supposed to bury my son,” he said. “My wife and I never discussed the fact that we might be burying him. We figured he would go to jail. We figured he could get well. But it was up to him.” At the end of the emotional afternoon of speakers, music, and poetry, Brooks Ann Smith, another organizer, said the group behind “Heroes not Heroin” wants to keep the momentum going. They plan to have a meeting from 4 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 12 at the Village Building. For more information, watch the group’s Facebook page.

School board looks at insurance policy By Laura McFarland News Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County School Board unanimously approved new health insurance rates for fiscal year 2016–2017 for employees. Discussion about the policy drew a good amount of discussion during the meeting on Tuesday, April 12. The biggest change in the policy relates to people who are both employed by either the school district or the county and each receive a credit toward their insurance. Employees in this instance participate in either the Dual Both or Family Both options and see significantly lower rates than a couple or family where only one person is employed by the school district or county. The board unanimously voted to modify the eligibility requirements for the Dual Both and Family Both tiers by eliminating these options for any new enrollments effective July 1, 2016. This eligibility requirement does not affect 26 couples already signed up for the benefit as long as both spouses are current employees or retirees from the school division or county. At a previous board meeting, several couples currently using the benefit asked the board not to take it away because losing it would be detrimental to their family budgets. The board also approved increasing the employee payments for the Dual Both and Family Both tiers by the same dollar per month amount that the Dual (employee + 1) and the Family tiers received. The long term plan is to use this methodology until these tiers are paying the correct amount as determined by the formulas discussed in November 2015. Rick Cole, who represents District 1, said the school board had already made an adjustment in the rate a little bit based on the recommendation of Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent. “I think it is a wise move and a fair move,” he said. He said he was in favor of approving the current proposal right now with the prerogative to make some adjustments to that, not for this year but for coming years, when the board met for more discussion on the topic. Jones said he was comfortable recommending the board allow currently enrolled families to keep the benefit because he thinks it is “a good benefit and it is one that we have now reigned in. We are looking at making sure that we quantify it as a benefit for the employee and that it is fair in terms of what that benefit costs to each employee.” “In September, my stance will still be that this is something that, while we want to take a global look at

learn in the way that they are most comfortable,” Lynch said. Ashley Brooks, Pocahontas Middle School Teacher of the Year – The fifth grade math and science teacher has spent 10 years teaching in Powhatan after spending her first year in education in North Dakota. She has previously taught language arts, social studies, and woodworking and is a technology trainer for her school. She is deciding between educational leadership and technology for further professional development, Lynch said. Brooks is passionate about creating a safe learning environment and loves seeing her job make a difference when students can take what they’ve learned and use it in real life scenarios, Lynch said. “She believes teaching technology/STEM helps students understand the world we live in and prepares them for technology in the future workforce,” Lynch said. Brooks is a single mom to four kids, a black belt teacher and considers herself “mom” to 45 more children at school, Lynch said. She knew she wanted to be a teacher when she was in fifth grade. Brooks is constantly looks for new and creative ways to teach math and believes in the importance of

campaign, we must set the example. We must set the example together. Unity is not about agreeing on everything, every time. Unity is about agreeing to a common purpose.

the benefits and everything, that this is something that we shouldn’t be taking away from those employees that it currently exists with,” he said. Other business handled at the meeting included: Renewing a contract for landscape services. Jones said the school district had been happy with the landscape services it had been receiving and sought to renew the contracts for another year. Aerations Plus had three contracts renewed for work on all six of the schools in the district. The combined amount for the three contracts is $110,869.96. Cole pointed out there was a reduction of $3,615.04 for one of the contracts because of the construction expected to take place at Powhatan Junior High School. The vote also covered a contract for $58,056 with WTG, LLC for 25 acres of Bermuda fields. Renewing a contract for custodial services. The board voted four-one in favor of renewing the contract for custodial services with SCC Service Solutions. Chairman James Kunka, District 2, voted against the renewal. The current contract amount is $838,886.52 per year. This year the contract is being reduced by $89,105.01 due to the closing of the junior high school. The new contract amount for 2016-2017 is $749,781.51. Jones pointed out that the district had some issues with the company in the past and had expressed dissatisfaction sometimes with the quality. “But every time we have had head-to-head meetings with the leadership of the region, they have come back, and we have seen better services over the last few months than we saw in the winter, when we had to hold backs some funding because we weren’t getting the proper amount of hours,” Jones said. Staff is recommending approval but will continue to make sure that Powhatan gets the level of service that is implied in the contract and that meets expectations of cleanliness the school district has for its buildings, Jones said. If that doesn’t happen, the school district could withhold payment or decide not to extend this contract next year, he added. The board discussed the benefits of outsourcing versus maintaining its own custodial staff. Russell Wilson, director of facilities, point out going from in-house to outsourced custodial services was saving the division about $500,000 per year, mostly in benefits and wages. Despite hearing many complaints, Kunka questioned whether there are more that haven’t been voiced because issues weren’t being resolved. Hearing a recommendation from the superintendent regarding allowing non-resident students who pay
finding what works for each child. Donia Spott, Powhatan Junior High School Teacher of the Year – The seventh and eighth grade science teacher has taught 22 years with 17 of them in Powhatan. She was a pre-med major in college but realized she had different goals from her peers, Lynch said. Then Spott took some education classes and really enjoyed them. She has a master’s degree and is endorsed in biology and grades six to eight science. She is currently working on a PhD in curriculum development. Spott is always concerned about students who are at risk and tries to be flexible and to adjust on the go, Lynch said. She is willing to reconfigure lessons when necessary in order to “find something that clicks.” “She doesn’t teach by lecture or notes but collaborates using studentcentered learning where students design their own learning,” Lynch said. Spott has found that labs help to create ownership for students and structures her classroom differently from time to time to appeal to different learning styles, Lynch added. Spott said she enjoys teaching now more than ever since she loves watching children learn. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.
I also want to close by thanking Pat McSweeney for his many years of service to the Republican Party. Sometimes we agree. Sometimes we don’t. But, I respect the countless hours you have spent over the years for our party. Let’s begin looking outward now, to invite our friends and neighbors to join us. Let’s create the unity of purpose that will be attractive to our community and that will make the Powhatan County Republican Committee the fastest-growing, most effective unit committee in Virginia. Let’s begin now to win. Jean M. Gannon Powhatan County
tuition to attend. The school board voted last year to allow non-resident students to attend Powhatan schools and charge them a set amount of tuition, Jones said. However, the board said at the time they wished to review the policy in a year’s time. He said the school district has started receiving requests for enrollment for next school year and staff would like to make sure it has the consensus of the board to move forward. Based on climbing enrollment numbers, Jones recommended not accepting any additional students from out of county that are not employees’ children for the 2016-2017 school year. “You will remember that last August, we cut that off to new applicants at that time because we were starting to see some climbing enrollment that we weren’t anticipating,” Jones said. “We just did March 30 numbers and we are about 85 students more than we were anticipated to have this year.” Jones asked that the board continue to allow the benefit for employees for them to enroll their children and continue following the policy as it is currently written. The policy will come back before the board at its meeting on Tuesday, April 26 for additional discussion and any changes the members want to make, he said. A woman spoke during public comments saying her son’s private school in Farmville would likely be closing after this year, and students there would want the option of paying to attend Powhatan County Public Schools if that happened. Recognizing the 2016 spelling bee winners from each school. The school board recognized the individual spelling bee winners from each school. The winners were Jordan Seay, fourth grade, Flat Rock Elementary School winner; Olivia Moss, fourth grade, Pocahontas Elementary School winner; Luke Daniel, fourth grade, Powhatan Elementary School winner; Bryson Wilson, fifth grade, Pocahontas Middle School winner; Nadia Khan, sixth grade, Pocahontas Middle School winner; A. J. Cascone, eighth grade, Powhatan Junior High School winner and runner up in the Division Wide Spelling Bee, and Bailey Stagner, seventh grade, Powhatan Junior High School winner and the Division Wide Spelling Bee winner. Bailey went on to represent the school district at the Richmond Times-Dispatch’s 42nd annual Spelling Bee, which was held on Saturday, March 12 at the Library of Virginia in downtown Richmond.

Celebration of the Horse returns for second year By Laura McFarland News Editor
POWHATAN – All things equine will once again be front and center with the upcoming Powhatan Celebration of the Horse. Now in its second year, the event highlighting Powhatan’s local horse cultured and inviting others to join in will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 7 at Rocky Oaks Farm, 2693 Rocky Oaks Road. Rain date is Sunday, May 8. The cost is $5 per carload at gate. The event is a collaboration between the Powhatan Farm Bureau Federation, Virginia Cooperative Extension in Powhatan County, and the Powhatan FFA alumni and is once again a fundraiser for Powhatan’s 4-H and FFA youth programs, Rachel Grosse, agriculture and natural resource extension agent, said. Celebration of the Horse will feature many returning events that were successful in its first year, but new this year, the horse show will be a 4-H qualifying horse show as well as an open horse show, she added. The show will feature 39 classes in which riders may compete. Getting the show sanctioned to be a 4-H qualifying event was really exciting for organizers and 4-H members who want to compete at the state 4-H horse show in SUBMITTED PHOTOS Lexington in September and need a qualifying event to The second annual Celebration of the Horse will feature activities, demonstrations, games and a huge horse show to keep participants and guests entertained.

do so, Grosse said. “I know that the Central District 4-H Horse Council that votes on these and approves them was very excited to see a show of this depth in this area because there isn’t very much in this area in the state to qualify. The more opportunities you get the better,” she said. The horse show, which will be the center event of the day, will have classes such as Hunter Pleasure, Hunter Equitation, Western Pleasure, Western Horsemanship, Gaited Pleasure, Gaited Equitation, Lead Line, and Ranch Pleasure. There will also be flag races, barrel races, and open trail classes. An open jackpot barrel racing competition is new to the event, Max Timberlake, president of the Powhatan Farm Bureau Federation, said. “One of the reasons we are excited about doing it is the barrel racing draws a little bit different group of people, both in participants and those that watch them,” he said. Participants who register by April 30 pay lower entry fees and are entered to win a $100 horse themed gift basket, Grosse said. It is $12 per class the day of the show and $10 if preregistered by April 30. The open jackpot barrel race has a $20 entry fee. Celebration of the Horse is a very family-friendly
event, Wilson DeNoon, board member for the Farm Bureau, said. There will be a bounce house, pony rides, petting zoo, corn pit, two cornhole tournaments (held in the morning and afternoon), and a silent auction. Some of the events have an additional charge. Food vendors will be on hand selling food, snacks and drinks. Organizers also want to get the children excited about being around horses, he said. “Our goals is we want to get the kids involved now so when they grow up they will be 4-H and FFA members,” DeNoon said. There will be educational tables set up to give out information about the equine and agricultural industries, Grosse said. Those displays, as well as many of the children’s activities, will be operated by local members of the 4-H and FFA clubs. “The kids are a working for the money they are raising. There are a lot of adults and organizations helping support it, but the kids are 100 percent invested in making this work,” she said.

Powhatan softball coach Marie Crump (right) offers a high five to No. 10 Gabby Moore prior to a 13-6 win for the Indians over Albemarle.
700 career wins and counting By Billy Fellin Sports Editor
A
ll over the state, Powhatan softball is a known name and a lot of that is because of the legacy of winning teams that coach Marie Crump has headed up over the years. Recently, Crump counted another
milestone in her Hall of Fame career with her 700th career win on Tuesday in a victory over Louisa. She and her Indians celebrated the milestone in the most appropriate way possible when returning to Powhatan, with win number 701 on Thursday against Jefferson District foe Albemarle in a 13-6 shootout. The milestone adds to Crump’s all-
time wins count in Virginia High School League history for softball. Crump said that her success speaks also to the program’s overall success. “I think it’s about the program,” she said. “The number of players that we have had come through here. They got the wins. That’s what phenomenal to me. They’re willing to do what it takes to put themselves in position to win.
Hopefully they’re not satisfied just being here, they’re working themselves to get in position to win. That’s the key.” Powhatan needed to work to put themselves in position to win against the Patriots on Thursday. Ali Celiberti was in the circle to start the game and Albemarle jumped on her early, with three see MILESTONE page 7B

Powhatan’s Ashley Van Buskirk (12) scored a goal against Monticello.
The Powhatan girls lacrosse game got off to an unusual start on April 13 at Powhatan Junior High School. First, the Indians’ opponent, Monticello, was late arriving to the field. Then, a second referee was needed and was coming from a game at The Steward School, and also arrived a bit behind schedule. Once the game got underway, however, it was all Monticello as they rolled 22-6 over Powhatan. “Tough loss,” Powhatan girls lacrosse coach Vince Evans said. “Big numbers on the scoreboard, but we won. We won by teamwork and how we played. We won our own game.” The Mustangs scored four goals in the first three minutes of the game to jump
out early, aided by a prowess in the faceoff. Monticello was able to consistently win and immediately turn it into an offensive opportunity. Alexis Cline scored the first goal of the game for the Indians with 21:08 left in the half. Powhatan had a few chances throughout the first half to close the gap to the Mustangs, such as with 19 minutes left in the half a foul was called deep in the Mustangs’ end. But, the Indians couldn’t capitalize on the opportunity. With 10:26 left in the half Hannah Raynor scored for Powhatan to make it a 9-2 game. Emmy Melchert immediately added another for the Indians just about 30 seconds after Raynor’s goal to make it 11-3. see INDIANS page 6B

Indians drop heartbreaker to Patriots By Billy Fellin Sports Editor
The week did not end the way that the Powhatan Indians baseball team wanted it to. On Thursday, it was a wild back-and-forth affair with the scoreboard getting a workout with 22 combined runs in the matchup between the Indians and Albemarle Patriots. The Indians fell short at the end though 12-10 to their Jefferson District foe.
“Offensively, we did well tonight,” Powhatan baseball coach Gregg Conner said. “We just didn’t play well defensively.” Powhatan came back from an early 2-0 hole and got one run in the bottom of the first and then scored four runs in the bottom of the second inning to lead 5-2. Albemarle answered in the top of the 3rd inning with two runs, but Powhatan answered with another in the bottom of the inning to tie the game 6-
4. Both teams scored four runs in the 4th inning to make it 10-8. Albemarle scored three runs in the top of the 6th inning to take an 11-10 lead. The Indians were able to escape the inning without any further damage as Albemarle had the bases loaded before a strikeout ended the inning. Powhatan went 1-2-3 with three strikeouts in a row to complete the inning. In the top of the 7th in-
ning, Albemarle played some small ball to get an insurance run across. A leadoff single followed by two sacrifice bunts advance the Patriots runner to score. The Indians came up in the bottom of the inning needing two runs. A leadoff strikeout hindered those efforts, but Matthew Church worked a walk to give the Indians a baserunner. Nick Rini followed that up with a single to get runners on first and second.
Logan Amiss flew out to left, which advanced Church to third, but Cole Biringer grounded out to end the game. “We didn’t play well,” Conner said. “We had too many errors and too many mental mistakes. That put us in bad situations.” The Indians committed five errors in the game against the Patriots and four errors on Monday at home against Midlothian in a 9-2 loss. Powhatan did rebound against Louisa on Tuesday with a 7-4 victory.
Amiss was 2 for 4 against the Lions with one RBI. Ross Lewis was also 2 for 4 with a double, triple and RBI. “We played poorly against Midlothian, but bounced back the next night against Louisa,” Conner said. “We played real well (against Louisa).” The Indians continue against district opponents this week. On Tuesday, the Indians travelled to Charlottesville and play on the road against Orange on Thursday.

Powhatan’s Cody Smith played football for the Indians during his high school days. Now, Smith gets his competitive juices flowing playing a different kind of sport. Smith is part of a growing segment of video game players that play competitively. These com-

He started playing competitively with the original Call of Duty, which was on the PC and his abilities grew from there. After he moved on from Call of Duty, Smith found Counter Strike, a similar game to Call of Duty in that they are both

part of the first person shooter genre. “I found Counter Strike shortly after (Call of Duty),” he said. “I started finding different tournaments and playing in those. Then, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, the current game, came out and I started playing that. I was playing in a tournament in Washington D.C. that I went to and there were some guys scouting there looking for talent. That’s where it all started right there.” Counter Strike is one of the most popular games that are being played competitively right now, despite the original game being over 15 years old. “I played football for Powhatan,” he said. “I love competing.

Strike gives me that chance to compete now. I’m not in high school anymore and can’t get out on the field anymore. So, this is my chance to compete.” On the top tier level, known as Major League Gaming (MLG), there is serious money on the line. The final between a team from Europe and one from Brazil in early April was watched live in Columbus’ Nationwide Arena by over 10,000 people, according to gaming site Polygon, with $500,000 on the line for first place out of a $1 million total prize pool. To give the size of the arena some scope, it is usually utilized by the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets. Online, the size of the audience for that one match was even bigger, exceeding 1.5 million. ESPN and Yahoo both have eSports presence on their website and offer coverage of matches and articles on the eSports community. According to one of the articles on ESPN, the Big Ten will be dipping its toe into the eSports arena, when Michigan State and Ohio State competing in another popular eSports game called League of Legends at PAX East in Boston, which will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network.
“If I was starting a business, I would definitely have some presence in eSports,” Smith said. “It’s a lot of dedication.” Smith, like many eSports competitors, is a member of a team that he competes with. Smith’s is known as OMGPC, as they are sponsored by a company by the same name out of the United Kingdom. They are on the minor league circuit of the MLG. Smith said his team has done well in the past, but recently they’ve hit a bit of a slump. “We lost one of our players,” he said. “He went to college and couldn’t do both. He still is part of the team and we need ideas to bounce off of. Recently, we haven’t done as well as we have done in the past. We’ve had top-five finishes in tournaments before.” Smith said that he is the leader in the game. He is the one that coordinates his teammates about where the enemies are on the map and which strategies or “strats” as they are known in game lingo they should employ. Those “strats” come from Smith’s head and are the product of many, many hours of game play study, similar to studying the film in football. “I’m the guy that is trying to get everyone pumped before the
match,” he said. “And, I’m the one that keeps everyone calm during the match.” And, like any member of any sports team, practice is crucial. “I probably play about three to five hours every day of the week,” he said. “On weekends, it can be anywhere from 10-12 hours. You’re playing something that you really love to do. It does become a hassle at times, because there are times when you might want to go out with your friends, but you can’t. You don’t have that option. It becomes like a job.” But, like most athletes there comes a time when you come to a crossing in the road where life, such as keeping up with a full time job, and chasing your dream, like with Counter Strike meet. Smith said he is at that crossroad now. “I’m a little older,” he said. “I’m 23, which in the gaming world is older. I’m in a situation where I work full time in Powhatan. I play video games whenever I’m not working. I work on the weekends for Best Buy. It’s a lot of stuff on my plate right now. I’m going to have to pick one or the other.” Billy Fellin can be reached at wfellin@powhatantoday.com or on Twitter at @BillyFellin.

Knights looking to improve on links By Billy Fellin Sports Editor
Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s golf team is back on the links for their 2016 season, which is already underway. Thus far, the Knights have been working hard in the early part of the season, according to coach Erik Sadowski. “The team is improving everyday,” he wrote in an email. “I was really surprised at the first practice how much longer the kids were hitting it this year as compared to the end of last year. They are really improving every day. It’s so much fun to see them improving and challenging each other. That will help when the scores really matter.” The team’s first match was on April 5 at Cypress Cove Country Club in Franklin, Va., in a match hosted by Southampton Academy. The first match of the season brought harsh weather conditions that made playing very difficult that day, according to Sadowski. “The kids played hard and battled some cold weather and strong winds,” he wrote. “Anyone who plays golf knows that those conditions are not fun to be in for two to three hours. A positive point to look at coming out of the tournament was that we didn’t miss any one or two-footers.”
The Knights fell to Southampton Academy 204-255 that day. Southampton was the low score again when Blessed Sacrament hosted a tournament on April 12 at Mill Quarter. The Knights scored 235 as a team, with Jack Lyons the low score at a 51. On the course for the Knights, Henry Ziletti, Zach Dickerson and Jack Lyons will be three of the veteran leaders on the team this season. “As veterans, I look to (Ziletti, Dickerson and Lyons) to lead this team,” Sadowski said. “(To) teach the younger kids how to play, practice, and most importantly play by the rules. They are great kids to have as leaders of the team. Each are so active within the school in so many different areas. They show the younger kids how to do school and athletics the right way.” Sadowski pointed to another golfer, Jack Lyons, as one that might surprise some people this season with his play on the links. “I won’t be shocked if (Jack Lyons) posts a low number,” he said. “Other coaches and players might. (Jack Lyons) just loves to play the game.” The basics and fundamentals will be a point of emphasis throughout the season for the Knights to be successful. “Each golfer knows what they have to work
Hodge sets three state marks Submitted report Powhatan resident Mary Hodge set three state records at the 100-percent Raw Powerlifting National Masters Championships which was held in Zion Crossroads, Va. on April 16. Hodge strict curled 77 pounds for the first record. She then bench pressed 143 pounds for the second record. The third record came in the deadlift, where she deadlifted 259 pounds. She trains at Blackhawk Gym in Powhatan under the guidance of her trainer, Kenneth James. She will be competing at the World Championships October 6-9 in Erie, Pa. Hodge competes in the Masters Division.
on,” Sadowski wrote. “I talk about those points every day with each golfer. They must focus on getting that swing memory down. They must be able to focus on every shot. Also, getting lucky on a few long putts in tournaments wouldn’t hurt.” If those milestones are met for the Knights, then the goal that Sadowski has set for the team should come into greater focus as the season progresses. “This year can be really big for us with some SUBMITTED PHOTO success,” he wrote. “We Powhatan’s Mary Hodge (center) with want to be more competiJohn Shiflett (left) and Rudy Garcia (right). tive at tournaments are get OUND DATION PROBLEMS?

won their matches 10-2 to seal the match for the Indians. The Indians fell 9-0 to Albemarle on Thursday. The boys tennis team were scheduled to face off against Monacan on Monday, but that match was cancelled. The team hit the road on Tuesday to face Charlottesville and will travel to Orange tomorrow.
Unfortunately for the Indians, the Mustangs would go on a 5-0 run to the end of the half to make it a 16-3 game at halftime. The break served the Indians well as defensively they were able to react well to what Monticello was throwing at them. Powhatan goalie Jaida Williams had 21 saves, many of which were more than routine saves that Evans said even college goalies would have had issues with. “I cannot say enough about Jaida Williams,�
he said. “Off the charts with saves tonight. Twenty-one saves, some standing on her head, that’s a 50-percent save ratio. That’s not bad.� After a five goal run from the Mustangs to start the second half, Anna Grace Causey scored with 11:47 left in the game to make it a 214 game. Two minutes later, Powhatan added another goal off the stick of Ashley Van Buskirk to up the score to 21-5. Right before the game ended, Faith Lawhorne added the final tally to put it at 22-6 as Powhatan ended the game on a three-goal run. The Indians fell on Thursday 19-1 to The Steward School, another
established lacrosse program. But, all these games are building up the experience portfolio for the Indians lacrosse notebook. And, Evans said that everyone around the program is taking notice of all the improvement the Powhatan girls lacrosse team has made. “The goalies, the team, everyone has done a great job,� Evans said. “Tonight, the officials told me the improvement they’ve seen from week one to now is amazing. We’re growing every week and that’s what we are hoping for.� Powhatan played at home against Charlottesville on Monday and Fluvanna on Tuesday.

Stewart-Haas Racing’s Kurt Busch was victorious in the 2015 Toyota Owners 400 race at RIR. The 2016 edition of the race is a scheduled day race.
RIR set for different race weekend By Billy Fellin Sports Editor
The 2016 NASCAR season is well underway and gaining momentum as the XFINITY and Sprint Cup series roll in to Richmond International Raceway this weekend, April 22-24. And, there are plenty of new elements for race fans to enjoy with the first of two NASCAR weekends in Richmond. First is the timing of the race. In recent memory, the XFINITY race has been run on a Friday night and the Sprint Cup has been run under the lights on Saturday.

singles in a row that scored two runs. It wouldn’t be until the bottom of the second when the Indians bats would come to life, and when they did, they did so with a jump. Madison Foster led the inning off with a single and advanced to second on a passed ball. One batter later, Autumn Lederman started her strong day at the plate
While last year’s Toyota Owners 400 Sprint Cup race was run during the day on Sunday due to being delayed by torrential downpours, the 2016 event will be run on Sunday entirely by design, a significant change from how the schedule has been worked recently. With all the new scheduling aspects of this race weekend, RIR president Dennis Bickmeier said that it was almost like planning a whole new weekend from scratch. “As we continue to dig into it and plan, and our operations team makes the adjustment from being on track three days instead of two…it’s a much dif-
ferent on track schedule and different weekend schedule overall,” he said. “It feels really new. It feels really fresh. I look at that as a positive. When you make a change this big, it creates a lot of excitement.” The last scheduled daytime Sprint Cup race at RIR was in March of 1997, won by Rusty Wallace. Along with the Sprint Cup race moving, the XFINITY ToyotaCare 250 race will be run Saturday during the day as well. The XFINITY race will be run along with the Dash 4 Cash format that puts $100,000 on the line
for one of the eligible XFINITY Series drivers. Richmond is one of four tracks that will be participating this year, along with Bristol Motor Speedway, Dover International Speedway and Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The format for this race will be significantly different than past races at RIR. The field will qualify normally on Saturday and will determine the lineup for two 35-lap heat races that will follow qualifying. The lineup for the 140lap main race will be determined from the finishing positions of the heat races. Those heat races
will also determine who will be eligible for the $100,000 prize. The top two full-time XFINITY Series drivers in the heat races will be eligible for the Dash 4 Cash, with it being awarded to the highest finisher among those four drivers in the main event race. On the logistics side of planning the race weekend, Bickmeier said the loading process of getting the fans in the stands is just one thing that will be a major change. “The biggest thing is loading the facility,” he said. “On a typical night race, people would trickle in throughout the day. The loading process of people

with a single to put runners on the corners for Sami Pleasants. She singled, scoring Foster to make it 2-1. Valarie Fridley reached on an error by the second baseman and Lederman scored to tie the game. “It felt good, I haven’t hit that well in a long time,” Lederman said. Mason Basdikis singled, Lauren Ratliff walked and Celiberti reached on an error by Albemarle’s left fielder before the inning ended
with Powhatan ahead 62. “We came back and had some good hits,” Crump said. The bottom of the fifth was another offensive outburst for the Indians. Harley Conner reached on an error, and then stole a base. Lederman got her second hit with another single and Conner scored. Fridley singled and Basdikis, who took the circle in the third inning, doubled to bring more runs across.
Tori Gilbert also doubled in the inning to score Basdikis. All told, it was a four run inning to bring the score to 10-2 for the Indians. Basdikis was 4 for 5 with 2 RBIS and Gilbert was 2 for 3 with 3 RBIs. “(Albemarle’s pitcher) had the ball at a good height,” Basdikis said. “We just jumped on it quick and didn’t let ourselves get behind in the count.” That cushion was helpful as Albemarle’s Kasie Pace hit a two-run
home run in the top of the sixth inning to make it 10-4. “Albemarle has good hitters,” Crump said. “They are very good, contact hitters.” Powhatan added some more runs in the bottom of the sixth. Foster led the inning off with a double, and then scored when Conner doubled. Basdikis doubled Pleasants and Fridley home later in the inning to make it 13-4. Albemarle would get two more runs in the top of the seventh, but the Indians defense was able to get the final out before any serious comeback attempt started. Powhatan went 3-0 this past week with wins over Midlothian 10-3 and Louisa 5-1. Pleasants had two tri-
ples and 2 RBIs against the Trojans, while Ratliff had 3 RBIs. Ratliff and Basdikis both had home runs against the Lions. Powhatan will head to Monacan today and to Orange on Thursday. Momentum is on the side of the Indians and it is a simple mindset for them to keep it with the team. “You just take it one game at a time,” Crump said. “We just have to think about the next one. If you’re thinking about the game last week, you’re not thinking about what you need to do now. Enjoy the (win) tonight, get back to work tomorrow.” Billy Fellin can be reached at wfellin@powhatantoday.com or on Twitter at @BillyFellin.
movement, operationally is the same, it’s just a smaller window to do it. From a traffic and parking standpoint, we are ready to go.” Kurt Busch is the defending winner of the Toyota Owners 400, as he dominated the field last year en route to the victory. The September race weekend will remain a Friday night-Saturday night doubleheader weekend. For ticket information, visit rir.com.

Inexpensive activities the whole family can enjoy Bumper bowling makes it possible for toddlers to join in the fun, too, so don’t be discouraged from bowling if your children are closer to preschool age than high school age.
amily-friendly activities provide great opportunities for parents to strengthen the bonds they have with their children. But finding affordable, fun events the whole family can enjoy can sometimes prove challenging for budget-conscious parents. Few families can make it through a month without developing and adhering to a household budget. But even if money is tight, there are a host of affordable activities families can enjoy together.

Festivals Many communities host weekend festivals that offer various family-friendly activities. These festivals may focus on a particular town or city’s cultural history or offer wider appeal, such as an apple festival or a film festival for kids. These festivals tend to cater to families, offering games and possibly even rides kids will love. Adults, too, can enjoy such gatherings, as festivals often invite local restaurants and food and beverage merchants to set up booths and peddle their wares to hungry festival goers.
Hiking One of the best things about the great outdoors is that it’s often free to enjoy. Research local parks to find ones that offer age-appropriate hiking trails. Parents with young children should look for parks that offer more relaxing hikes with well-established trails that do not require any difficult climbing. If the kids are a little older, parks with more challenging, less-developed trails may suffice. Prepare lunches at home and enjoy a family picnic in the park. Many parks do not charge entrance fees, and packing your own lunches will save on meals. The only cost you might be on the hook for is the fuel it takes to get from home to the great outdoors.

Basics of horseback riding for beginners orseback riding is both a popular recreational pursuit and a mode of transportation on working farms and ranches. Many people have grown up around horses and are quite experienced with riding. Many others, however, have no such history. In order to prevent injury, novice riders must start with the basics. People of all ages and abilities can mount a horse and enjoy the experience. Although horseback riding can be fun and exciting, it also can be a bit nerve-wracking for first-time riders. While horseback riding is generally safe, whenever one is dealing with an animal of this size and height, the possibility for injury exists. Beginning to ride involves some knowledge and planning.
H
Become acclimated to horses Start spending time around ranches and stables to become familiar with the size and mannerisms of horses. Experienced riders can point out cues in body language that indicate whether a horse is pleased or skittish. Understanding equine body language can make it easier to successfully interact with the horse. For example, ears positioned forward generally indicate a horse is relaxed. When the ears are pinned backwards, this could be a sign of aggression.
Begin with a reputable and experienced riding instructor In the United States, instructors must be certified by the American Riding Instructors Association. In the United Kingdom, certification comes from the British Horse Society or the Association of British Riding Schools. People who want to ride can enroll in lessons taught by qualified instructors. Metro
Learn good horsemanship This involves much more than just being able to mount and ride. Learn how to put tack on the horse and how to clean and store equipment after use. In addition, learn how to properly groom the horse, which can be a special bonding time between human and horse. This also gives you the opportunity to assess the animal for any injuries or discomfort both before and after riding.
Horseback riding can be an enjoyable activity. Beginners should learn the basics before starting.
work together.
Try to keep emotions in check A horse will sense how you are feeling. If you are calm, the horse is more likely to be calm, while a nervous rider or one who lacks confidence might make the horse nervous as well.
Ride in an open area When starting out, you will have to learn how to move the reigns to steer and use your feet to guide the horse. Therefore, ride in an open area away from trees or fences so that there are no incidences of bumping into obstacles.
Take heed of a few safety tips Earn the trust of the horse
Dress appropriately for riding
Show up early to the stable and ask if you can feed and water the horse. This will help solidify the bond you have with the animal. The more opportunities a horse has to become acclimated with you, the better the two of you can read each other’s signals and the more cohesively you will
Beginners who aren’t sure if they will continue riding long-term should not invest in expensive riding clothes. A long pair of jeans or other pants that cover the legs and a decent pair of boots will be enough. Beginners should also wear a safety helmet.

Never stand directly in front of a horse, as this is a blind spot. Similarly, never stand behind a horse or you risk being kicked. Remain calm around a horse and don’t run up to one or he or she may spook. Horses can be unpredictable; therefore, do not let your guard down. -Metro Creative

any people view swimming as a purely recreational activity, but the health benefits of swimming should not be overlooked. Swimming is a great way to get fit, providing great cardiovascular exercise that’s easy on the joints. Swimming engages a variety of muscle groups, making it a great way to get a complete workout. The following are some additional benefits of including swimming as part of your exercise regimen. When swimming, muscles are worked hard, which can help build strength. Much of that work can be traced to the fact that water
M
is far more resistant than air, forcing a body in water to work harder to move than it would if it were walking on solid ground. Water buoyancy can enable people to do exercises that would be jarring on land. In water, roughly 90 percent of the body is buoyant. That means working out in the water will put less strain on the knees and hips when it comes to performing high-impact jumping exercises. Swimming is a great cardiovascular workout. Swimming can elevate the heart rate to an optimal level and work the lungs, too. Pushing oneself harder and harder can help to burn calo-
ries and lead to weight loss. Just about every muscle is used when a body is swimming. Swimming targets the shoulders, back, arms, legs, hips, and gluteals without requiring complicated workout equipment. Swimming may help improve coordination, balance and posture. Swimming also may promote greater flexibility by stretching the body through fluid movements. While swimming is often considered a relaxing activity tailor-made for warm summer days, it also provides a complete and demanding workout that can benefit the body in a variety of ways. -Metro Creative

How families can get up and go together amilies often look for fun things to do together, and few things are more fun than physical activity. Choosing activities that combine fun with physical activity is a great way to bond as a family and get healthy at the same time. According to Let’s Move!, an initiative launched by First Lady Michelle Obama to fight the problem of childhood obesity, children need 60 minutes of play with moderate to vigorous physical activity every day. Parents know it can sometimes be hard to get kids to disconnect from their devices long enough to get out and play. But Let’s Move! notes that kids who are supported by their families or surrounded by others interested in physical activity are more likely to participate in such activities themselves. Families looking to get fit and grow closer can consider the following approaches to live healthier, more active lifestyles.
F
Give gifts that encourage activity Both youngsters and adults are enamored with the latest gadgets, but tablets and video game consoles won’t do much to make families more physically active. In lieu of toys that promote sedentary lifestyles, give kids toys that encourage physical activity. Erect a basketball hoop in the driveway or go buy new bicycles for the whole family, resolving to go for a nightly ride together.
Restrict TV time Establish house rules regarding how many hours of television kids and adults can watch each day. Kids will follow their parents’ lead with regard to how much television they watch, so parents should be mindful of their own viewing habits, resisting the temptation to plop down on the couch for several hours each night. Don’t turn on the television at night until the whole family has engaged in

some physical activity.
Volunteer as a family
Walk or ride bikes to run errands. When running errands in town, take the kids along and walks or ride bicycles rather than drive. This is a great time for families to catch up, and walking or riding a bicycle is great exercise for adults and kids alike.
Schedule physical activities for the weekends
Let kids plan activities
When planning weekends, parents can schedule a physical activity for the whole family. Make time to go hiking at a nearby park or schedule a family basketball game in the driveway. Such activities are healthy, and they don’t have to cost a lot money, either.

Another way to get up and go as a family is to work with a local nonprofit or charitable organization. Sign the family up for monthly park or beach cleanup projects that get the family out of the house and moving. Or sign the family up to work at a local soup kitchen where kids can learn the value of helping others while staying on their feet.
One great way to get kids excited about an active lifestyle is to let them plan family activities. Kids who are encouraged to come up with activities, whether it’s visiting the zoo or going kayaking as a family, are more likely to embrace those activities. - Metro Creative

also create a nutritious guacamole appetizer by mixing avocados, tomatoes, cilantro and lemon juice. By selecting dishes that can be quickly and easily prepared before your picnic, you’ll find yourself with even more time to enjoy your guests.
Find the Right Location
Smart Packing
The first step to a successful picnic is finding the perfect spot. If you decide not to host at your home, choose a space at the park or beach with tables or a shelter to make setup a snap. If you select a location without amenities, you’ll need to bring chairs and blankets to provide a comfortable setting for guests. Determine how many people will be in attendance, and plan accordingly.
Make packing for your picnic a breeze by creating a checklist with necessary items, such as plates, cups, utensils, napkins and more. Be sure to count your guests and bring enough for everyone, remembering extras for dessert. Strategically pack your basket and cooler to avoid smashing, breaking or spoiling food. Secure heavier items on the bottom and insert smaller, lighter items on top. In the cooler, place chunks of ice or frozen packs in between layers to prevent items from shifting while keeping contents fresh. As a rule of thumb, once the ice melts, perishable food has likely reached an unsafe temperate and should not be consumed. Plan and prepare items ahead of time, and you will be ready to host a splendid picnic in the great outdoors. So gather your friends and family, grab a blanket, and let the fun begin!

Tricks to simplify outdoor entertaining ome of summer’s favorite moments happen right in your backyard: the sounds of children running around, the smells of fresh-cut grass and newly planted flowers, and the gathering of family and friends. Here are a few simple tricks to make your next soiree the best one yet:
S
Build Atmosphere Your patio and backyard are an extension of your home, so don’t limit your creativity to indoors. Avoid harsh overhead lighting and create an inviting summer atmosphere by stringing paper lanterns or lightbulbs across your deck or around the railings. While you want outdoor furniture to be stylish, you also want to make sure it provides comfort. Many outdoor furniture cushions are made from rough material, so
consider bringing indoor cushions outside. You can always take them inside if a summer rain hits. Rather than keeping an outdoor cooler sitting in the corner, consider making a DIY picnic table with cooler storage or building a wooden crate for your existing cooler. Create space and balance by utilizing the corners of your deck, as well, with an accent plant, side table or a rustic bar cart.
Keep Guests Full and Happy Create a simple and refreshing summer appetizer and drink menu to keep guests content. When you’re ready to get started on your menu, a high-performance blender, such as the Vitamix 780, is a must-have kitchen appliance. The sleek silhouette, touch-screen panel and low-profile container makes large batches quickly and clean-up easy.

For kids’ summer sleepovers, try an easy no-nut butter recipe – perfect for dipping apples and carrots and refueling after an intense backyard game of flag football. Simply blend sunflower, flaxseed and sesame seeds, and you won’t need to worry about any gluten or nut allergies.

you’ll be relaxed and ready to entertain if a neighbor comes knocking on your door to chat. Keep a decorative, weatherproof crate or wooden bin with a secure lid on the edge of your deck. That way, kids can keep all of their toys in one place and clean them up quickly when guests arrive. You can even use multiple crates and have them handy for extra bench seating. Create a grocery list so you’re not overwhelmed in the store. Dividing your list by appetizers, main courses and desserts will help you navigate. Make fresh produce last longer by storing it in the fridge rather than a fruit bowl, or by creating ready-to-use plastic bags of frozen fruits for your smoothies. So, call up your family and friends and let the summer fun begin!

Teaching kids to swim wimming is a popular activity once temperatures heat up. Millions of people flock to beaches to dip their toes in the water, and scores more spend afternoons exploring the depths of backyard pools. Upon being introduced to the water, younger children may be somewhat apprehensive, as swimming in pools or oceans can be intimidating to youngsters. Parents should exercise extreme caution when teaching kids to swim, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that more than one in five fatal drowning victims are children under the age of 14. Although swimming can be dangerous, experts in pediatric and adolescent medicine affirm that participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning considerably. Children whose parents swim may be eager to join mom and dad in the pool. The following are some tips for parents as they start to develop a plan to teach their kids to swim.

Introduce children to water at an early age so they can quickly grow acclimated to water.
Wait until the child is developmentally ready The American Association of Pediatrics recommends that parents wait until after a child’s fourth birthday to teach them how to swim. This is when children have developed enough to understand commands and have the motor skils required for swimming. At this point, parents can register children for swimming lessons with trained instructors.
Introduce playing in the water early on Parents should make sure their children grow accustomed to playing in the water. Many kids start to like the water around the time they become toddlers, when bathing introduces them to splashing and bobbing toys. Use these opportunities to take your child into the water, so he or she acclimates to feeling the water on his or her body and face. Kids can sit with adults on pool steps or retrieve toys from within reach. An adult always should be nearby.
Wait before submerging kids The American Red Cross says to wait until a
child is around age three before submerging him or her under the water. Young kids can swallow a lot of water, which can be dangerous. Sputtering water also may turn a child off to swimming completely.
Begin in calm water The open ocean can be daunting, even to adults. So it might be better to begin swimming lessons in a calm body of water, such as a lake or pool.
Invest in formal swimming lessons Parental perceptions and anxieties may interfere with parents’ abilities to properly teach their children how to swim. Therefore, hire third-party professional instructors to teach kids to swim. The Red Cross can put you in touch with certified swimming instructors who also are knowledgeable in first aid. As children become more confident in the water, they can practice swimming strokes and submerging themselves for underwater swimming. -Metro Creative

Smart watering conserves water and saves money ummer heat can be harmful in various ways. People and pets can quickly succumb to the summer sun, which can cause sunburn, heat exhaustion and heat stroke when people and their animals spend too much time outdoors without adequate protection. Landscapes are also vulnerable to summer heat, which can quickly spoil the most lush lawns and robust gardens. Effective watering can help lawns and gardens withstand summer heat, but improper watering can deprive landscapes of the water they need to survive. Homeowners concerned about their lawns and gardens surviving the summer can take the following approach to conserve water, save money and maintain their landscapes.

Start early Homeowners may feel that the hottest times of the day are when lawns and gardens will be most in need of water, so that’s the best time to set sprinklers or grab the hose and get to work. But in many areas, watering between

If you do not have an in-ground irrigation system and don’t intend to install one, you will likely use lawn sprinklers to water the lawn.
the hours of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., when summer temperatures tend to peak, can be both wasteful and ineffective. That’s because watering between those hours will cause much of the water to quickly evaporate, robbing lawns and gardens of the water they need to withstand the heat. Homeowners who water when water is most likely to evaporate may feel they need to water more, and that only wastes water. It’s best to consult a local landscaping professional in your area to determine the best time to water each day, but in many regions the best time to water is between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., when temperatures are generally lower, the sun is not at its peak and winds are not as strong.
Place sprinklers correctly If you do not have an in-ground irrigation system and don’t intend to install one, you will likely use lawn sprinklers to water the lawn. When placing these sprinklers, turn them on and then document their trajectory before moving on to the next area. You want to make sure the water from the sprinklers is not landing on sidewalks, patios or streets, espe-

cially if your community typically institutes drought restrictions that limit how much you can water. In such instances, you’ll need to make the best use of the water you’re allowed to use, so make sure none of it is watering the driveway.
Let well-fed lawns go dormant during drought Lengthy droughts tend to be accompanied by water restrictions, and such restrictions can frustrate homeowners who don’t want to see all of the hard work they’ve put in to this point go to waste. But grass that has thus far been well cared for can withstand drought and still recover when rains once again fall and temperatures cool come autumn. If you plan to let the lawn go dormant, keep kids, pets and visitors off the grass, as dormant lawns are highly susceptible to damage. Summer is an enjoyable time of year, but lawn and garden enthusiasts may be concerned for their properties when summer heat sets in. A few simple strategies can help lawns make it through the season unscathed. -Metro Creative

Prevent bugs, sap and other substances from ruining a vehicle
K
Tree sap According to Cars.com, an automotive information resource and vehicle sales website, although tree sap won’t cause immediate damage to vehicle paint, it should not be ignored. Over time, sap can become more difficult to remove, etch through the clear coat on the vehicle and cause discoloration. When the temperature is hot, damage from sap can accelerate. On windows and windshields, drivers may be able to gently remove dried sap with a razor blade. However, use cleaning products on more delicate paint. Automotive stores sell speciality sap and tar cleaners. Otherwise, you can try rubbing alcohol. It may take a few attempts to
remove sap entirely.
Insects and bird droppings Splattered bugs and avian surprises dropped from above can be a messy, unsightly nuisance. Their acidic composition also may cause them to damage paint over time. Bugs and droppings can be sticky, so you will need to work with something that will remove the splatter without removing the paint in the process. A product like WD-40 may help. This oily product is normally used on rust and hinges. When applied with a cloth and allowed to penetrate the stain, it can loosen difficult-to-remove sticky substances. Always test any product you use in an inconspicuous spot first to make sure it doesn’t damage or discolor your the paint. Insects or droppings that are fresh may come off relatively easily with a good washing or hosing off of the car. Retailers also sell specialty insect sponges to remove bugs and other debris.
Tar Soap and water will do little to remove tar and other petroleum-based products from vehicles. Commercial tar removal products use a strong solvent or detergent to loosen the tar. This may include kerosene, mineral spirits or another item mixed with lubricants. Go slowly and use caution so that you remove the tar and not the paint. Drivers who are hesitant to clean their vehicles of common residue can have their cars or trucks professionally detailed, leaving the work in the hands of experts. -Metro Creative

eeping vehicles looking pristine requires care and diligent cleaning. So many day-to-day activities and environmental materials have the potential to damage the finish on cars and trucks. While winter weather and chemicals used to keep roadways passable are often blamed for affecting the appearance of cars and trucks, winter is not the only time of year when substances can cause damage to vehicles. Spring and summer are prime seasons for sap, birds and insects. These times of year tend to see an uptick in road work as well, and such projects can contribute to damage caused by loose asphalt, gravel and tar. Addressing problems resulting from tree sap, insect and bird droppings and tar may not be something to look forward to, but it is necessary to keep cars looking pristine.

Learn to fish responsibly arm weather has arrived, and the welcoming temperatures are once again beckoning people to the great outdoors. Fishing is a popular warm weather pastime, and it’s important to take an environmentally responsible approach when fishing. According to Oceana: Our Endangered Oceans and What We Can Do to Save Them,Ó by Ted Danson, in just 55 years, humans have been able to eradicate about 90 percent of the ocean’s top predators. These include animals like sharks, marlin, king mackerel, and bluefin tuna. Smaller species also are being wiped out at alarming rates because fishing nets capture far more than is intended, and today’s fishing vessels can zero in on large schools of fish relatively easily. Thanks to global positioning technology and sonar capabilities, there’s no longer too much surprise in the chase. Commercial fishing may do the brunt of the damage, but amateurs also can contribute to the contamination of waterways and decimation of fish species. For example, the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game says more than 500,000 bass die each year due to improper handling in Massachusetts alone. People of different cultures have fished sustainably for decades, and most anyone can follow their guidelines (and some others) to help keep ocean life healthy.

do so with care. Operating a boat in shallow regions can chop up underwater vegetation or harm fish that live in the shallows. Don’t remove crustaceans or take plants or other wildlife out of the area.
Keep track of gear Discarded or lost fishing gear can prove harmful to wildlife. It’s easy for fish or other marine animals to get tangled in fishing line and hooks that were left behind by fishermen. Sinkers and other weights may be mistaken for food and injure unsuspecting animals. Even animals like ducks and other birds can swallow fishing tackle, which can lead to illness or starvation. Don’t just abandon gear.
Fish specific species at different times Fishing specific species helps maintain different stocks of fish at various times of the year. Plus, you’ll help guarantee that one species will not be over-fished, potentially leading to underpopulation or extinction.
Avoid the use of cast nets or dragnets Cast nets or dragnets can capture too many fish, including ones that you did not intend to take in. Responsible fishing can help maintain water ecosystems and protect the surrounding environment. -Metro Creative

great values and donÕt involve too much advanced planning.

Booking a campsite location and then spending a few days in the great outdoors allows families to get back to nature while enjoying an inexpensive vacation. Families can camp in lodges or basic cabins, or rough it outside in a tent. Some families enjoy the benefits of renting an RV and visiting various campsites on their vacations. Let the activities unfold as you explore different trails and backroads along the way. Family-vacation season is around the corner.

Find a location with hands-on activities Children may grow bored of simply taking in the sights. Vacations that enable them to do instead of just see may be more enjoyable. Visit locations with touch museums or science centers that encourage kids to get in on the action. Historic locales may do demonstrations or reenactments of how life was in eras past. Remember to include children
in the family activities and give things a try, such as helping paddle a canoe or light a fire on a camping trip.
Don’t overlook smaller theme parks While kids may have their hearts set on traveling long distances to the widely popular theme parks, do not rule out options closer to home. Smaller parks may not have every attraction, but they do boast a variety of activities and rides that can keep children occupied for hours. Remember that amusement parks reach peak capacity when kids aren’t in school. It may be wise to vacation at off-peak times to avoid the crowds and save time spent waiting in line.
